If you want to take your summer corn to the next level, this recipe is a total winner. It combines sweet, tender corn with a savory ranch cream sauce that is so addictive you will find yourself wanting to put it on everything.

People love this dish because it is perfect for any cookout or family barbecue. It is incredibly simple to prepare, yet it feels fancy enough to be the star of the table, and you can easily use frozen corn if you are cooking during the off season.

Ingredients

  • 6 ears fresh sweet corn
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup cooked and chopped bacon
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onion

Instructions

  1. 1

    Remove the husks and silks from the corn.

  2. 2

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the corn, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until tender.

  3. 3

    Remove the corn from the water with tongs and set aside on a platter.

  4. 4

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Whisk in the heavy cream and ranch seasoning, then slowly add the softened cream cheese, stirring until the sauce is smooth and fully melted.

  6. 6

    Spoon or brush the warm sauce generously over the cooked corn.

  7. 7

    Top with the shredded cheddar, chopped bacon, and sliced green onions before serving.

💡 Tips

For the best results, serve this corn immediately while the sauce is still warm and creamy. If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days, reheating them in the microwave for a minute or two.
